Red Kites at Mad Hatters – Pictures

A home-coming for frontman Moteh Parrott, Red Kites took to the stage of Mad Hatters as part of their Scottish tour. The band were capably supported by Andy Ruddy, debuting in Inverness, and local boys Lionel.

Initial anxieties about playing to a limited audience subsided very early into the set

The Bradford based singer-songwriter was helped out on stage by a familiar face.

An opportunity to hear some new tunes and some old favourites, Red Kites were back in town and the partisan crowd loved it.

Life-long engagement with music and a truly eclectic taste (although prog-rock and metal will usually have me scrambling for the off button). If pushed, I would have to say the Velvet Underground are one of the most important band’s of all time. Although I consider myself first and foremost a photographer, as regards reviewing I guess I cut my teeth in the vibrant fanzine scene of the 80’s. Around the same time I started taking photographs and, to be brief, performance and photography were made for each other: perfect match.
